Having problems with your Miele S318 Bagged Canister Vacuum ?

This silver metal triangle shaped thing popped out

\015 My sister pulled out a silver triangle shapped prong, which moves when a bag is being changed, out from the bag canister. How do I put it back in place. Please help!!\015

Answers :

I think it's a spring that goes on the bag holder itself... You have to sort of pop the bag holder up from it's hinges and see a little tab stick on the bottom, in the middle, pointing sideways. There's a little groove that the spring is supposed to line up with on one side, and if it's not in that place you put the spring on backwards and have to turn it around the other way so the end lines up. Then snap the holder back in, and make sure the spring is pushing against the vacuum so when it's in place, the holder pushes the bag up towards the lid. The spring is to keep the bag pressed up to the air intake, and doesn't push down very much.

Hoover windtunnel t series belt is loose- roller brush doesnt turn.
Its brand new belt is slipping. we bough new belts and putthem on same problem. Can not find solutio in manual.

I have an L shaped piece of metal with a hole at one end that fell out of my hoover elite bagged upright vaccuum cleaner. I repaired the belt but don't know where this metal piece goes.

We have already spent $60 on getting the belt repaired once. This time, the same thing is happening, the belt is jumping of the small metal bar in the back of the housing. Seems like there should be something on the end of the bar to keep the belt on it?

I have a Hoover Elite Rewind model #uh71009. We moved recently and it was jostled around and the red power switch popped out. I put it back in but it's stuck; it stays either left or right, it doesnt move back and forth. It appears there may be another piece missing from the power switch...all I have is the red switch and a tiny cylindrical metal tube with a spring on one end. This piece fits into the hole on the red switch. Inside the vacuum itself where this goes, there is quite a large cavity

My steam vac's little red ball thing keeps popping up after about 45 seconds of cleaning, I have cleaned it and the problem continues, any ideas?

I took the cover off the brush so I could cut off all the hair that was wrapped around it (vacuum was working fine, I just noticed the hair). I pulled the brush/spinner thing off one side, cleaned everything, popped it back in where it belonged, and tried to make sure the belt was in the proper alignment. However, when I turned the vacuum on, it makes a horrible noise like I'm sucking up rocks. What have I done wrong in putting it back together? It seemed simple...

No suction vacuum won't pick up -- I've checked the bag, hose...and it seems to have no sucking power. The internal hose may be jammed (I vacuumed up a lot of shredded paper), but nothing as far as I can stick in fingers in. I don't have a metal coat hanger to slip down, but I'm afraid that might tear the hose and then the darn thing won't work anyway. :o(

If it is plugged, try using a tape measure, i know it sounds stupid but it will work to unplug your line and will not tear your hose.. ...

I think there used to be a metal hanger-like piece of **** holding down the bag at the spot where it is affixed to the vacuum cleaner. I want to find it, and if possible, download the **** manual. Too much to hope for? Hoover Legacy 830.....Model # U5079-910......Serial # 069100005664. Please don't tell me it's SO old they deny ever having made the thing!
